Minibrew raises $2.8 million to help you make your own beer
May 23, 9:42PM
The Minibrew is a little keg with a big brain. When we first met the company in 2015 they offered a whiff of high tech to the brewing process, adding a monitored brew vessel and mobile app to the age-old technique of slopping a bunch of wheat, yeast and hops together until something tasty came out. Read MoreWTF is an ICO?
May 23, 9:17PM
A newly famous transaction type we need to understand is called the “Initial Coin Offering.” An ICO is akin to an IPO, but in temporal reverse (sort of).

His third startup, Merlon Intelligence, services banks, helping them cut down on risk and put a… Read MoreThe FCC's case against net neutrality rests on a deliberate misrepresentation of how the internet works
May 23, 7:50PM
The FCC has just published the notice of proposed rulemaking that would roll back the 2015 Open Internet Order establishing net neutrality. Their first and primary justification for doing this is a way of defining broadband access that’s so backwards it’s ridiculous. It would be funny, if the future of the internet didn’t depend on this incredibly disingenuous maneuvering. Read MoreBlispay raises $12 million to help retail customers avoid payments for 6 months

May 23, 6:20PM
French startup Stanley Robotics just raised $4 million (€3.6 million) from Elaia Partners, Bpifrance and Idinvest Partners. The company is building giant robots that pick up your car at the entrance of a parking lot and park it for you. If you drive your car to the airport, you know how expensive it can be to leave your car at the airport for a week. Airport parking lots have turned into one… Read MoreGoogle brings expanded AMP support to search and display ads
May 23, 6:14PM
When Google launched its AMP project about a year and a half ago, the focus was squarely on speeding up mobile web pages, with a special emphasis on news sites. Over the last few months, both the scope of supported pages and the range of places where Google surfaces AMP pages increased. Google is now using the AMP technologies to speed up some of its core money-making services. Read MoreUber says it accidentally underpaid drivers in New York City

May 23, 6:02PM
It’s hard to know where to begin with this mess. It’s only been seven months since LeEco launched in the U.S. with one of the most bizarre press conferences in recent memory, right down to the super weird Michael Bay cameo. Since then, it’s been a constant parade of bad news for the company, cumulating with a conference call today that will lead to around 325 layoffs in the… Read MoreWarby Parker's Prescription Check app lets you skip the eye doctor

May 23, 5:06PM

The company just announced that it has raised $2.5 million in seed funding led by Eniac Ventures, with participation from The Chernin Group, Techstars Ventures, BoxGroup and others. CEO Eric Futoran (pictured… Read MoreGoogle's Unique Reach tells marketers when you've seen the same ad a gazillion times
May 23, 5:01PM
We have all suffered the pain of seeing the same ad for a BBQ grill we can’t fit in our apartment on our phone, tablet, laptop and work desktop. The duplication is not only annoying, it’s wasteful for advertisers. At Google’s Marketing Next conference in San Francisco, the company announced Unique Reach, a new measurement tool that captures the number of times the same… Read MoreJudah vs. the Machines: Facebook's dog-breed-recognition robot
May 23, 5:00PM
On the road to making machines artificially intelligent, everything needs to be taught, even the facial structure of a dog that looks like a mop. In this episode of Judah vs. the Machines, actor Judah Friedlander sets about his goal of “challenging the world’s top artificial intelligence robots for the sake of humanity” by taking a look at Facebook’s applied machine… Read MoreMeet the 21st batch of 500 Startups companies
